Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Wantable May|Accessories Box

wantable

 


 

 

wantable

I am sure you are wondering whats going on here on this blog, 2nd beauty box (wantable box) in a space of 2 days (laughs at self – this is all the beauty blog you get). Well I was paruzzing through facebook land once day when Wantable caught my eye, its been a few months now but I could not get the box because they did not ship to the UK then! guess what!! They do now. Like most beauty boxes you get an option of either subbing for a month, 3-monthly etc, for this box it’s monthly and the beauty is I can cancel anytime I want and can even switch up. You see Wantable has three categories Make-up, Accessories and Intimate;, I obviously chose accessories since make-up (though love it) is not my strongest point but I do wear jewellery almost daily. Consider this my wantable review!!!

So how does this subscription work, well unlike Love me beauty you:

  • Get to choose the category,
  • Take a personal style quick and then,
  • You get a personalized box according to your likes.

Mini-review

At first thought I wanted a make-up box so was ready to change it up but as soon as I saw the accessories that were delivered to me in an all but beautiful packaging all that doubt left the building (my brain). What I love so much about my wantable box is the fact that they send you only styles “YOU” said you liked not one size fits all kinda regime. It may be more expensive than love me beauty box but they send you exactly whats best for you and its coming from USA, also if you get make-up box they send “FULL” sized not mini samples. For accessories box you get personalized and on trend etc. I am in love with my box and I will be keeping my subscription for a little while longer. Only funny thing on my part is I chose the wrong ring size (7), am I the only woman who does not know her ring size? How am I meant to measure it or can I just go to a jellewer and ask him to try all the rings on me until one fits? (got long almost chubby fingers)


Have you ever heard of Wantable and ever tried their boxes?

    I didn’t even know accessory companies were now doing boxes, but to be fair, where there is money to be made, anything is possible. For your ring shop go into any reputable jewellers and ask them what your ring size is, as they have ring sizers behind the till. You might need to use a conversion chart as I believe in the UK we use letters and not numbers. I’ve got the fattest fingers like ever, I’m like in between a L/XL. It’s so hard finding rings that fit 🙁

    Oh how exciting! I am waiting for one of the make up boxes, but hope to try the accessories one soon! I love the sunglasses!

    I am a jewellery designer, the best way to find your ring size is to go onto H Samuel or another jewellers and ask them to send you a ring sizer, they are free and it means you will always be able to check what size you need.

    Fab post!
